2. 1. Mechanistic-Empirical Modeling of Permanent Deformation in Asphalt Concrete Layers

   Author : Erik Oscarsson; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; permanent deformation; modeling; Mechanistic-Empirical; rutting; asphalt concrete; full-scale pavements;

   Abstract : Three mechanistic-empirical permanent deformation models were evaluated under Swedish conditions with respect to traffic, climate and materials using accelerated pavement testing and long-term pavement performance studies. The mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M E PDG), the incremental-recursive mechanistic-empirical CalME model (CalME), and the PErmanent Deformation of asphalt concrete layer for ROads (PEDRO) model generally showed both useful features and limitations.

4. 2. Porous pavement in a cold climate

   Author : Magnus Bäckström; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Abstract : Local disposal of stormwater can be achieved by using porous pavements instead of impermeable pavements with conventional stormwater pipes and manholes. The objective of this thesis was to analyse the performance of porous pavements during freezing, thawing, and snowmelting conditions in order to evaluate if the porous pavement is suitable for stormwater management and road construction in cold climate regions.

5. 3. Climate impact on the durability of asphalt concrete

   Author : Pajtim Sulejmani; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Roads are subjected to traffic loads and varying climate conditions that eventually lead to different types of damage. Moisture in asphalt is one of the major causes of premature failure in asphalt pavements. READ MORE
